Today is a great day for baseball and for America, as we celebrate one of our proudest moments as a society: the day Jackie Robinson integrated baseball. April 15th, 1947 was a landmark day for equality in America, breaking down segregation in baseball and paving the way for the civil rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther [...]

You like that title? Does it’s cheesiness bother you? I’m actually positive that some newspaper out there is running that exact title without any sense of how reprehensible it is. News papers love puns and sh*t. Anyway, the Phillies clinched their World Series birth yesterday after having a 9 inning victory lap around the Dodgers. [...]

Yesterday I said that neither series in the baseball playoffs was competitive. And though the Phillies won in dramatic fashion in a close game, I’m right about that one. It’s 3-1 and the Phillies are sure to win the series with their superior rotation and lineup. However, the Yankees/Angels series turned an interesting page. The [...]

OMG, you guys. Last night’s games were, like, totes lame, right? Seriously though, one of those games was won on an error and a bases-loaded walk, while the other was won on three errors. That’s shitty baseball. I was super psyched to see Pedro pitch (and he didn’t disappoint), and to see the Yanks/Angels series [...]

So game one of the NLCS was last night, and the Phillies won. Cole Hammels outlasted Clayton Kershaw, who seems to be tiring down the stretch (as I predicted in the video below). The Dodgers had 14 hits to the Phillies 8, which is a misleading stat considering that Kershaw and company walked a ton [...]

For those of you that haven’t seen any of the playoff games, good for you. I guarantee you were doing something better. And for those of you, like me, who have watched them closely: I’m sorry. Seriously. These games have sucked. My eyes want a refund. Here’s my break down:
Rockies at Philly Game 1
BORING! Normally [...]

About 15 minutes ago, I was listening to the final wrap up of a baseball triple-header by TBS’s studio analysts, when seemingly out of nowhere Ernie Johnson mentions that Dennis Eckersley had described the Dodgers/Cardinals game as a “tossed salad.” He then put Eck on the spot by asking for the definition of a tossed [...]
So I’ve thought about this a lot in the last few days. In case you need catching up, Prince Fielder got beaned by Guillermo Mota during a blowout by the Dodgers in retaliation for the Brewers accidentally hitting Manny. Fielder looked mad, but did nothing. THEN, after the game Fielder tried to break into the [...]

Hey there readers. I know that everyone has already weighed in on the trades made right before the deadline, but I have an excuse for being late to the party. There was a wedding in The Other Fifteen family, as our Vice President and Co-Creator Patrick Carey got married to his longtime better half. It [...]
